Ernestine Z. Garcia

After reading the entries from immediate family, I realize that this woman, was a special person. In all of life...we earn money: gain status; manuever through the shuffle of living; trying to gain more and more and more. Yet it is these simple acts: smiles; shuffling in the hallway; making others think, laugh, smile...enjoy. To help others just enjoy...whom they are; where they are and whom they are with...is such a magnificent gift. Not only do I leave you with a sadness that your precious...

Dear Grandma,
A piece of me has moved on to heaven. I am so thankful to God for all the cherrished moments that I was allowed to spend with you. You always showed unconditional LOVE, and you where always there to encourage me when I needed it. Your entire family deeply misses you grandma, but we know we will see you again.With Love eternal- your Matitas
Ecclesiastes 3:4
"A time to weep, and a time to laugh. A time to mourn, and a time to dance."

I regret not being able to see Aunt Ernestine one last time before she left to be with our Lord. I will recall spending many fun times with her, Buelita and Laura when I was a teenager. I will always think of her when I hear the word "muneca". She liked to call Laura her muneca. In those days she liked sitting on Laura's bed before bedtime to talk about the events of the day. She was smart, don't we wish all parents spent that kind of time with their children. She liked to laugh, tease and...

Grandma and all the rest of the family, we love you. You will be missed grandma. I am so happy my husband got to meet you and share some precious moments with you. He says I look just like you-What an honor. Until we meet again. Grandpa, we love you and our prayers of peace are with you.

Lovingly,

My Beautiful Madrecita,

I miss your lovely smile, your intelligent advice, the fun and laughter we shared -I miss your presence. I know you are forever safe, and that this separation is temporary. I promise to try to live a life pleasing to God that with joyful hope we may be together in heaven. Rest dear mother until then. l miss you so much.

My Dear Sweet Granny,
What an honor it has been to have you in my life. You have been the best Granny that anyone could have!! I am so grateful to God that he has allowed us to have you in our lives for so long. It will be a precious memory for me, that I will hold close to my heart, to have had your hand in mine at your moment of passing. My dear sweet granny, I will miss you so much. My heart aches, but I am at peace knowing that you are joined with our savior, Jesus Christ. We all...

Hi mom! It's been one week since you stepped onto the threshold of eternity. The "cat" misses you and your children miss your phone calls; but we're comforted knowing that all is well. God be with you until we meet again. Charlie

Grandma,
I miss you so much. I miss the stories you would tell my children about the silly things I would do when I was little. I miss your dancing and singing to Michael Jackson. Anna and I would watch MTV and you would be "shaking it" in front of it. We all have so many happy memories. Thank you and Grandpa for being such great examples of what a family means. You have instilled that in my life, as well as the rest of our family. That is something that we will continue to carry on...

Grandma - I can smile knowing that you will forever dance before the Lord. I know you are rejoicing in His presence along with your loved ones. I will miss you - but I thank you for the wonderful example of love that you were to everyone. (Teenie Weenie)
